Bioenergy is now accepted as having a potential to provide a significant portion of the projected renewable energy provisions of the future. Therefore, biomass waste is one of the bioenergy sources and can be converted to syngas and liquid oil as a fuel or raw material to further produce chemical feedstocks. The carbon-containing residues can also be used as a carbon source. This study was proposed to study the feasibility and operation performance of plasma torch pyrolysis of biomass wastes, taking sunflower-oil cake as the target material. It was the biomass waste from the production process of biodiesel using sunflower seed. In the study, a plasma torch reactor was used for the pyrolysis of the sunflower-oil cake at different operating variables, such as temperature, input power, carrier gas, input mass, and reaction time. For the production of CO and H 2 (syngas), the maximum accumulated mass fractions (or volume fractions) and the corresponding occurring temperatures
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
